Maybe I'm misremembering stuff from the VN, but it seemed to me that Mio not responding to the phone call was sign that time is perhaps progressing backwards? I think the reason that Mio didn't respond is because she's basically disappeared out the world (like in her route). The reason that Riki has been so effective/confident up to now is because he already unlocked the other routes and is just pre-refrain in effectiveness. Maybe it's just my crazy idea, but it seems interesting haha.

Next season, along with the baseball match I bet. Since he joins the baseball team soon after because of injuring his arm. The last bits of all the common route will probably be animated as well. This will probably happen after the first possible major reset?

Judging from these summaries, Kud's route will be episode 19, then 21-23, with Sasami's mini route in-between for episode 20. Episode 24-26 will probably contain Kurugaya's arc, along with Rin1 for the ending.

Here we go season 2~

I think Kud's arc will be episodes 21-23 and episode 19 is a filler that focuses more on Kud.

From the OP, it looks like Kud's arc will be the last major arc for this season. I don't think Yuiko's arc will be in this season because a major arc requires at least 3 episodes and there are filler episodes in between arcs. Thus episodes 24-26 will be fillers.

Well, I suspect that the Kud episodes would have full of very subtle ship Riki-Kud ship teasing, while the eventual Post-Refrain Kud Wafter adaptation would built ontop of it, and presented as the true blossomning of the hints in the Anime Kud Route.

And anime only viewers would be arguing whether Kud, Kurguaya or Rin represents the "true" heroine.

I theorize that JC Staff is currently trying to animate the Kud Route in such a way that Kud Wafter can be built on-top of it. Hence, the stripping of romance in a certain manner - or at least, the reduction to nothing more but hints.

So far, the entirety of Kud's arc seems like it could easily remain consistent with Kud Wafter. I think JC Staff is actually doing Kud's route with Kud Wafter in mind, but that's only a theory.

How long do you think a Kud Wafter animation needs to do it justice? My only knowledge comes from the Kud Wafter manga, and I suspect just based on it alone that a single or even two OVAs may not be enough. 13, if not 26 episodes might be needed, unless they butcher it. Then again, some people here seem to think they'd butcher a theoretical Kud Wafter adaptation anyway. Personally, I think Kud Wafter is actually easier to adapt, but I am simply basing this from the first ten chapters of the manga alone.

I haven't played KW yet but I heard it taken place in an alternative world apart from the original.
So it doesn't matter how the original is processing,KW will still be fine because it's just a what if scenario and doesn't have much to do with he original itself.

In fact,I highly think KW would still be okay even if it's a stand alone anime without the current original anime adaption.
But ofc,that was just my guess because I haven't play KW yet.
